because
i love you too much to let them take you away
but if they knew
if they saw

we could not walk down the street
without their whispers ripping us apart
and i know
if they were to destroy us
we would turn into starlight

and i am not afraid of the fall
but i refuse to let you hit the ground

To whom it may concern:
Weakness does not make you weak
It makes you human

I'm looking back on what we had
And I've come to a few conclusions
That maybe the love I thought we had wasn't really there

You called me your sun
Well, I guess that makes you Neptune
Cold and Distant
But fed by my warmth

Because every night we said "i love you"
But never once did you say it first
So, looking back, maybe you were just trying to tell me your favorite band
Because I said "i love you"
And you just said "u2"

I tried to hold on to you but
My palms were made of sand
And so in escaping
You destroyed my hands

I let myself break for you
So look at my hands
And tell me
How I can ever hold someone with them again

And it's a little funny
Because you seemed so afraid of opening up because you thought everyone would leave you
And I did end up leaving you at the end
But only because it's hard to love someone
When you only see the side of them that they put on their social media page

They said weakness is human
So you assumed that made you a god
But gods live forever
And who will remember your name when I'm gone?
